What is 'l'?
alias l='ls -alF' I did not create that, SuSE did.
See? 'rm' doubts and asks. However, 'mc' doesn't ask and goes ahead, it happily deletes a file that is not mine.
Indeed:
mc -bash: mc: command not found
What is 'mc'? (midnight commander?
Yes. Other file browser might do the same thing, I haven't tested.
I thought that the 'w' permission was needed to delete a file, but no. Is there some way I can negate user "cer" permission to delete a file? No, not sticky, it doesn't work.
'w' applies to the content of the object it is set on, allowing write to _that_ object. "Filenames" are 'content" inside a directory (filenames that point to their own content -- the content of the file).
So, I would have to change the permissions of the directory. I can't do that. :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
